Default 1994 ECM Problem

I think the ECM in my 94 is starting to go. The LED display sometimes reads normally but other times displays complete gibberish of lines and shapes. After a while every number becomes a zero and it stays like that. Does anyone know where the ECM can be rebuilt or a working one can be found. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Sounds like the dash or maybe the CCM not the ECM?

you might just have a bad ground somewhere too...

I attached a video of a the dash as well as a picture of what happens after a few minutes after the car is turned on. After it spazzes out it returns to normal with the occasional hiccup.
I'll check for grounds later today as this problem seemed to develop around the same time I messed with some wires under the dash.

Yeah I'm guessing something came lose, doubt it's the ECM or BCM. I probably would check the wires you were messing with and unplug/replug in the the various connectors you come across.

Codes? Modules normally set communication or data codes when they cause send or receive faulty data. Batee.com has information regarding clusters.

So it turns out it was just some loose connections. I literally kicked the wires under the dash and now everything is working fine. Thank you all for the help, I appreciate it.
